hmm

<MikeSmith>
maybe it's OK

karlcow
is doing stupid stats on words into html5
01:53
<karlcow>
word frequency exactly
01:53
<karlcow>
cat HTML5.txt | tr -sc '[A-Z][a-z]' '[\012*]' | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr > html5-sorted.txt
01:55
<karlcow>
first significant noun is "element" (5691)
02:10
<Dashiva>
karlcow: I would include -
02:26
<karlcow>
Dashiva: as an acceptable character?
02:46
<Dashiva>
karlcow: Yes

<Karen_m>
when designing websites, is there a great resource for learning? a good book, something/anything?
10:20
<Karen_m>
i stumble when it comes to the design of sites
10:21
<aho>
there probably aren't many designers here
11:00
<webben>
Karen_m: I haven't read it, but I've heard positive things about http://www.amazon.co.uk/Non-designers-Design-Book-Typographic-Principles/dp/1566091594
11:01
<webben>
Karen_m: See also http://usability.gov/ , http://www.amazon.co.uk/Dont-Make-Think-Usability-Circle-Com/dp/0789723107 , http://developer.yahoo.com/ypatterns/ , http://webtypography.net/
11:03
<MikeSmith>
Karen_m: using View Source and developer tools in browser
11:03
<MikeSmith>
*browsers
11:03
<MikeSmith>
like Firebug
11:04
<MikeSmith>
copying somebody's existing CSS locally and modifying it to see what happens
11:07
<Karen_m>
I've been stealing (well, copying/modifying.. but when it comes to my own color schemes or layout, it's horrible :)
11:09
<webben>
Karen_m: Also http://www.adobe.com/products/kuler/ ... re color schemes.
11:19
<MikeSmith>
so we have several different efforts in the works on defining a remote-debugging protocol
11:20
<MikeSmith>
Firebug Crossfire, ChromeDevTools, Opera Dragonfly
11:21
<MikeSmith>
and WebKit Web Inspector protocol?
11:21
<MikeSmith>
which is different from the ChromeDevTools protocol?
11:22
<MikeSmith>
is it time that we should be trying to define a standard protocol for this?

<annevk>
so it seems I'm lame, but why would Media Queries say anything about specificity?
12:38
<Ms2ger>
Because some people think they would increase specificity
12:38
<Ms2ger>
(No idea why they would)
12:39
<annevk>
that's like thinking an <h1> starts hauling at the moon if you do not enclose it in <section>
12:39
<annevk>
maybe not quite that bad
12:40
<annevk>
but giving stating all the negative cases as well would make specifications almost infinitely long
12:40
<annevk>

<Ms2ger>
Though css-cascade would probably be a better place for such a note
13:06
<karlcow>
cat HTML5.txt | tr -sc '[A-Z][a-z][\-??]' '[\012*]' | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr > html5-sorted.txt
13:07
<karlcow>
Dashiva: first word with a dash: case-insensitive (154)
13:08
<karlcow>
ah another interesting case, not caught by the current regex :) 80 UTF-
13:45
<karlcow>
above 1000 occurences after removing common words such the, a, etc.: element (5648) | attribute (4219) | U (3630) | must (2579) | value (2337) | user (2113) | elements (1632) | content (1432) | name (1303) | input (1178) | character (1177) | p (1149) | state (1101) | agent (1068) | set (1047)
13:46
<Ms2ger>
Looks like you need to allow +
13:46
<karlcow>
for U :)
13:48
<karlcow>
or more exactly U+ and digits
13:49
<karlcow>
or more exactly U+ and digits/letters
13:59
<karlcow>
U+000A (90) | U+0020 (86) | U+002D (73) | U+0030 (69) | U+0009 (67) | U+0039 (62) | U+003E (59) | U+000D (55) | U+003C (49) | U+00338 (49) | U+000C (47) | U+002F (46) | U+0041 (44) | U+005A (39) | U+0022 (35) | U+0061 (32) | U+0027 (31) | U+007A (27) | U+003A (23) | U+0023 (21) | U+0FE00 (20) | U+0026 (20) | U+003B (18) | U+020D2 (17) | U+003D (17) | U+002E (13) | U+002B (13) | U+002C (11) | U+0021 (11) | U+003F (10)

<MikeSmith>
what's the right way to represent variadic args in WebIDL?
23:40
<MikeSmith>
oh
23:40
<MikeSmith>
is there a "variadic" keyword?
23:40
MikeSmith
tries
23:42
<MikeSmith>
hmm, just "..." I guess
23:47
MikeSmith
now tries to figure how to represent it in a way that refspecs WebIDL preprocessor can parse
23:48
<MikeSmith>
if anybody who has used refspec with spec that have methods with variable number of arguments, and can clue me in on how to mark it up, I would appreciate it
23:49
<Philip`>
HTML5 has things with variable numbers of arguments
23:49
<MikeSmith>
Philip`: yeah, but I think Hixie maintains the source for those in actual WebIDL
23:50
<MikeSmith>
whereas Refspec uses some markup so it can generate syntax highlighting and hyperlinks and such
23:50
<Philip`>
Oh
23:50
Philip`
knows nothing about Refspec
23:51
<MikeSmith>
it seems to work pretty well
23:52
<MikeSmith>
but for me right now, it's just one more thing with idiosyncracies to figure out when all I really want to do is get a simple draft written
23:53
<MikeSmith>
I guess I'll just move on for now and bug Berjon about it later when he gets online
